The award winning Girls Night Out Gig Harbor Waterfront is Thursday, November 12th! Bring your friends to “Shop & Dine from 10 to 9!”

Allovus is headquartered both in Gig Harbor and Bellevue, and we like to think of ourselves as community partners who support local businesses. After all, we’re a local business too!

Girls Night Out is sponsored by the Downtown Waterfront Business Alliance, of which Allovus is a member.

“We got involved last year because of our friend Christina Dangler at Devoted Kiss Café (our caterer for most everything nowadays).  Christina gets really involved, and headed up an event within Girls Night Out a few years back. She introduced a Shop Hop Passport, for the Finholm District businesses.  There are different areas of ‘downtown Gig Harbor’ and our end of the bay is the Finholm district,” Allovus CFO Shannon Lee said.

As a business partner, Allovus donated 250 branded stylus pens with a branded screen wipe tied in a cute bow (thanks Nicole Castilliano) to the goodie bags. Then, our own Alison Grauman designed and printed the Shop Hop Passport and instruction cards.  There were 1,500 of them…because they are part of the goodie bags—which, by the way, have already sold out.

So, if you’re gearing up for the holiday shopping season, head on over to the Gig Harbor waterfront, where there are lots of great stores to shop in and friendly faces to help you get the perfect gifts for your friends and family. (Or even for yourself!)

Shannon will be riding the trolley all day, serving something warm from the Devoted Kiss Café, and talking up the Shop Hop and Girls Night Out in general. If you’re headed down to shop, be sure to say hello!
